How close should an altimeter be to field elevation
when set to the pressure indicated by the field's
AWOS? I'm seeing a 50' error.

What's the accuracy of the AWOS?

Glad you asked. I called some friends at Allweather
(which made the AWOS at my field) and they said the
units are factory calibrated to +/- 5 feet and that
FAA specifications are +/- 20 feet.
